1 4The Daily Tar HeelWednesday, March 28, 1984 A lert proposes additions to Carrboro cable service By LISA BRANTLEY , SUff Writer . A cable television committee composed of 10 Carr boro residents is seeking citizen input on a franchise pro posal by Alert Cable TV of North Carolina, Inc. to upgrade the town's cable TV service. Committee chairman Donna Mitchell said the ad visory body, which was appointed by the aldermen last month, tentatively plans to send out about 100 question naires to Carrboro cable subscribers to get citizen reac tion of existing service and rates. In addition, the committee plans to advertise in local newspapers such as The Chapel Hill Newspaper and The Village Advocate, in the form of a small clip-out survey to gauge general citizen reaction to the level of Carrboro cable service, Mitchell said. meetings before presenting their recommendations to the Carrboro aldermen in April, after two meetings Mitchell said that more will probably be needed. "We'll definitely go over the ones we had originally planned," she said. "We really haven't gotten into the meat of the proposal yet." Alert proposes to expand its 24-channel system to 35 channels within a period of nine months if the Board of Aldermen approves, in April, an eight-year franchise ex tension it petitioned for in December. According to Alert official Pete Pettis, the extension would give the company more time in which to recoup its investment. Eventually, should the extension be granted, Alert proposes to reopen its studio to provide local-based pro gramming and expand to 54 channels if there is enough programming available. One local channel, according to the franchise pro posal, would make live coverage possible of regularly- scheduled Board of Alderman meetings, allow for an hour per week of current issues or special events pro gramming provided by the town, and perhaps make pro gramming possible from the Carrboro Art School. The proposal would also provide for a "community billboard" informational channel to allow public interest announcements to be made via the cable system. . According to Mitchell, what Alert is proposing is "a standard." Some committee members have an interest in checking and comparing Alert's service with that offered by Village Cable which serves Chapel Hill and Orange County and presently operates a local studio. Currently Alert, which is the 22nd largest multiple system cable operator in the United States, serves 160' communities including 2,500 customers in Carrboro and Hillsborough. Town Council discusses Chapel Hill budget By TRACY HILTON Staff Writer Town Council members voiced dif ferent opinions Monday night concerning the proposed 1984-85 budget for Chapel Hill. The budget, which contains a new pay plan for town employees, should also in clude pay raises for members of the Town Council, a council member suggested. During a public forum on the interim budget, member Winston Broadfoot recommended that annual pay for the nine council members be raised $1,000, which would increase salaries from $3,000 to $4,000. This would put Mayor Joe Nassifs Flaherty salary at $8,000. Council salaries have not been changed since June 1976, when they went from $2,000 to $3,000, Broadfoot said. According to a survey by the N.C. League of Municipalities, if salaries were raised by $1,000, the council pay scale would be on par with other municipalities its size, Broadfoot said. He added that it is appropriate for Chapel Hill to keep pace with what other towns are doing and that the heavy workload merits additional pay. Council member Jonathan Howes was pleased with Broadfoot's suggestion. "I think the logic he offers is sound," he said. Howes said the" Ywn an increase From page 1 have (he first woman gubernatorial candidate in this slate and have four women seeking seats for council of state offices." Flaherty said. "The Democrats have none. We have appointed more women to federal cabinet positions than any other previous administration. We appointed the first woman to the U.S. Supreme Court. And who are the women in the U.S. Senate? Republicans!"

Council member William Thorpe said he was not in favor of the proposed plan. He said he would try to make amend ments in the final budget. "I want to get that on the record very early on," he said. A spokesman for the Animal Shelter of Orange County was the only speaker dur ing the public forum. He asked the Coun cil to consider $15,000 in the budget for the operation of the animal shelter. He estimated that 85 percent of the animals received are destroyed because of finan cial restrictions. In other activities, Chapel Hill Plan ning Board member Lightning Brown money said that Chapel Hill should adopt some standards for apartments being converted into condominiums. As it stands now it is unregulated, he said. Brown expressed concern for the pro tection of buyers and the tenants who already live there. He said apartment residents should be given ample time to adjust to any change in the buildings, and that building standards should be set for those living in the condominiums. Other activities were a resolution to provide up to $16,670 for expenses of a National Sports Festival to be held in the Triangle area and a discussion of the pro posed Cable Telecommunications Act of 1983.

"I think what we've seen in talking with some student organizations is that they've exercised some financial respon sibility," said Reggie Holley, CGC speaker. "What I mean is rather than padding their budget as is thought the organizations do, they've said, 'What can we cut in each category?' " Holley said that he was disappointed about the CGC's rejection of a proposal supported by the CGC Rules and Judiciary Committee which would have imposed an allocation freeze for the re mainder of this fiscal year unless all of SG's assets totaled $40,000, as required by the Treasury Laws. "I've talked with some people from my constituency, and a lot of them are con cerned about the idea of splurging" money. We got carried away. At some point in time you've got to say stop spen ding money. Again, it's not our choice, but we need to cut back," he said. "We (the CGC) wanted to make sure we looked good in the eyes of all the peo ple. No, no, no. Of any of the organiza tions, we are the one that just shouldn't do that," Holley said. "We've gone seven years without a fee increase, and maybe in the past, people have had more money than they should have had," Parker said. "But I think they're going to see we've finally reached the threshhold no fee increase, no show." Senate campaign against Republican Jesse Helms shows. Helms spent more than $7 million, while Ingram conducted a grass-roots, low-budget campaign with expenditures under $250,000. Ingram received 46 percent of the vote to Helms' 54 percent. "I think that speaks pretty highly of his vote-getting ability," Long said. Ingram's voting block has been a cons tant shadow over Long's campaign, which has toured 85 counties and logged 25,000 miles. While optimistic of a vic tory in the May 8 Democratic primary over challenger Billy Martin, Long left no doubt about what he'd like to see happen in November. "If John runs, he runs," Long said. "But if he doesn't run, that's so much hettpr." Brock said no candidate had ever tried to run as an unaffiliated candidate for a statewide office, making it "hard to tell" whether someone could be successful in getting the required 56,000 signatures on the petition. The only successful statewide petition drive Brock said he could remember was when Alabama Gov. George Wallace visited the state in search of the 1972 Democratic presidential nomination. "George Wallace got 20,000 signatures in North Carolina in one day on a peti tion to form a new party, so I can't say that you can't get a lot of numbers (signatures) in a hurry. But it would still seem impossible to achieve," Brock said. 1983-84 McNAIR LECTURE ON SCIENCE AND RELIGION DR. A.R.
